Out of Pod Experience

I've found as I've grown older, I just don't really like eggs as much as I used to, except for the yolk. I always liked the yolk, and like it more now, but I feed the egg whites to the dogs. I guess before I liked both white and yolk more equally.

I also used to like omelets, and scrambled eggs, but find myself feeding those to the dogs now too. I guess pretty much anything that's an egg white or mixed thereof, I don't like it anymore. I just made an omelet, and thought it was going to be good, and made it just like I always have, but it's going to the dogs.

Is this a normal part of growing older? Has anybody else experienced an increasing dislike of egg white, with increasing like of yolk? Or have eggs been changing in quality, with an ever-so gradual decline in tastiness that I didn't even notice until I stopped liking egg whites?

Changes in what you prefer will change with age. It'll happen because of aging alone, but the things you eat/drink will also alter it. I've noticed this with pineapple and some other foods. I used to hate fresh pineapple, but now I kinda like it. I also noticed some radical changes after I stopped drinking alcohol and coffee and when I changed a oil/fat heavy diet to a low fat/fresh vegetable heavier one. Now the taste of oil/fat is almost sickening to me, while before i didn't mind it at all.

I've just been kind of thinking maybe I wasn't in the mood for eggs or something the other times, but this time will be different. But it isn't.

I'm wondering too if there's something different about the eggs, like the way they're being raised and such that imparts a different flavor onto the eggs.

In the last couple years i've seen cats, and heard of several other cats, refusing to eat certain chicken and turkey. They take a whif and walk away. Highly unusual. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there's some nasty new chemical which has been introduced to the breeding process.

Maybe try organic eggs from a local farmers market or something to see if they also put you off?

Biggest change for me over the years is liking sweet foods less and spicy foods more.

Jeffrey Steingarten's preface to The Man Who Ate Everything details how, when he learned he was to be a food critic, he forced himself to like foods he did not already like in order to judge fairly. I recommend that book to any potential foodie.

Another Ann Amelie:
Kim Chee was a disappointment for me. I expected from its reputation that it would be awesome or awful, and it was...fine, I guess. Research continues.

I'm in Canada, so pretty much the same practices you have in the states.

But that stuff has been going on for decades, and i've never seen a cat turn up its nose at any of the meat. They're normally insatiable.

I find that I like eggs..especially with the food that makes all foods better, BACON.

I love eggs. I too prefer the yolk but only when runny. When hard boiled I prefer the whites. Unless you make a tasty deviled egg out of the yolk.

First sign of a brain tumor is suddenly not liking eggs.

Steak is fine, but why should we even be drinking something cows make for their own babies ?

I'm not a cow baby (although they are cute).

It is revolting indeed.
